Rafting in Rishikesh - 2012
A small weekend trip to Rishikesh My first trip to Rishikesh was about 6 years back. I drove upto a place called Devprayag. 30 km uphill drive was a nice and thrilling experience. Indeed the place very well could be a place for God. Peace everywhere and lash green woods and the roads are only made by human. Ganges flows down below, which makes the only soothing noise to the ear and ofcourse cars and trucks. In these years things have changed. More people on the road, more cars. Rafting has become a major interest and grown a booming business. I saw people only coming for rafting in 1000s. Camping also picked greatly and numbers are only growing of different type and price. Often roads are jam packed and cars are in more than one row, which used to be free and a nice drive, even few years back. Depending on the age group for rafting of 26km stretch, from Rishikesh to Hardwar, distances are set, as who can cover upto what distance. Nights are beautiful
